PageRank computations require several passes, called "iterations", through the collection to adjust approximate PageRank values to more closely reflect the theoretical true value.

From my side recently i found changes in Page Rank on 7th Nov.

Back when Google was just getting started and was still called back rub, Google's algorithm was mostly based upon PageRank to determine the order of results a user would get in response to a search query. The name Page Rank has nothing to do with a web page at all.

Whenever anyone posts a comment that doesn't sound like anything anyone would actually say in a forum posting (like the bit about back rub) I can't resist the temptation to Google the post and see what comes up. In this case I found a word for word match to a hub page at:http://mywebs.hubpages.com/hub/What-is-Google-Page-Rank
I am assuming that you didn't just Google the question and find this answer and then copy it, but that this was your own hub page and you recalled what you said 2 years ago?
It's a strange coincidence though, because another of your postings (on the thread Benefits of Link Building) doesn't read naturally either and also exactly matches a statement made elsewhere but apparently not by the same person who wrote the Hub Page.

You are wrong here, they did copy and paste that text. My name is Anthony Goodley, AnthonyGoodley.com, and I am the author of that HubPages hub. Google "Anthony Goodley MyWebs" and you should clearly see the association between the two. I have never posted on your forums until now.

Thank you for joining us Anthony, and for your contribution.
However, I think you misunderstood my post, because I was trying to make plain that I did not believe that the member's post was their own, i.e. that they had copied it. My comments were sarcastic. They have since been banned from this forum and their post has been deleted.
